To paraphrase the famous line about a rose by any other name still being a rose, Beyoncé’s sister—by whatever name—is still Beyoncé's sister!

It seems B's younger sibling (and Jay-Z's new sister-in-law), Solange Knowles, will now go by the oh-so-creative moniker SoL-AngeL on her upcoming sophomore album.

And she says that getting the CD made in the first place was quite an effort.

"I literally had to beg [record producer] Cee-Lo to listen to my music, but once he did, he signed on immediately."

Ah, we stand corrected. For a minute there, we thought maybe nepotism had someting to do with it.
